Revelations

I sometimes have a tendency to complete miss something, and this week I realised I had been completely missing something since about 2006. This week I realised that the majority of the Supernatural fanbase, is female. This astonished me when I realised it becuase I always assumed it was more of a guys show with these two guys going around killing monsters in an incredibly epic car all the while hitting on (ok only one of them did this) as many girls as possible.
And yet despite the fact that I only ever talk about this show with girls, and they love talking about how hot Sam and Dean are and the shout out the writers gave to this in Season 4 (I will not display spoilers) I still completely missed this point. Then along comes this Tuesday when I'm talking to Millie in bio and it hits me. Most of the fans are women. Can I be a bigger fool. Don't answer that. If I wanted your opinion on that I would put a question mark on the end.
On an unrelated note Trent's party was great. His dogs are very cute, and I finally got to play GTA 4 (even if it was only for a few minutes). According to James (and this being Jame's who is quite often sexist, I have only taken his word in a mocking way) men are better at GTA than girls. The fact that I have actually played GTA San Andreas on the computer and the girls hadn't probably contributed to their demise (although mine was still pretty bad, I kept pressing crouch). Also Rhiannon watching someone play is scarey. She keeps telling them to kill some civilian. I am so glad that children and animals are not allowed to be placed in those games.
Math test was pretty annoying. I felt really bad because I got 57/68 and so many people failed, but seeing as I think I failed my physics test, the universe must have balanced itself out.
That's all I've got to say so bye.

Is This Really Helpful?

Hello one and all of you who actually read this blog. This entry is actually mostly about my raging at exact values (or whatever you actually call them) from maths. These are those ones that have the 2 vertical lines surrounding the problem and they have a maginitude but aren't positive or negitive. These seem to have absolutely no point, especially in a equations where x can have 2 different values and you have to check if these are right and occasionly neither of these 2 are right. The only point I can think of for them is graphing, but what is the point of graphing them. There is none. It's so bloody stupid. If you can explain the praticality of this it would be much appreciated.

Secondly I am pissed at the weather. It seems to rain every week these days. This was very bad yesterday in Medowie and the threat of the Medowie Markets (sort of a swap meet, which only meets once per month) being cancelled. Admittedly they weren't but it wasn't worth it as no one who sold books was there. It aggravated me some what. I wanted to get some Stephen King books but I couldn't. Thankfully the newsagents (one of the few things in this town I actually like (except for the fact that the people at the counter are bloody rude)) sells paperbacks and I brought a Dean Kootz book. Not as good as King but still pretty good.

So back to the weather. It's crazy. One day it's raining and the next it's sunny as. Add to the fact that Medowie seems to be a weather magnet getting the rain before anyone else (not entirely true but still it's raining like hell here and humid as hell somewhere else and therefore I can't go for a walk. And when I can it's so bloody wet and the footpath ceases to exist every 10 minutes plus the good long walks are mostly off road).

Also I now actually like a Shakespearen play. Othello is damn good, but a lot of people don';t like it. I don't understand how you couldn't. It has Iago who is evil for the sake of being evil. That gets win points.

One more thing before I go. I've gotten a new hobby, which is watching old movies and finding out how badly they got there ideas of the future wrong. Have a look at 2001 a space oddesey. They made a story about space travel and even had some ebooks, but completely overlooked the portable music industry. Quite amusing (if you;re weird enough).

Ok I'm going to sign off now. Have a good week and bye.

Stop Apologizing

Now as much as I really, really, REALLY love it when you people comment on this blog, I just want to say that I mostly keep these blogs so that my great grandchildren can look up what my life used to be like. I know I could just use a diary but they aren;t very manly, (and the real reasons) I haven't got a real diary (an actual book) and I'm not very good at keeping them. Yeah that's right. I tried it once. Got bored after about 3 days. Also it was in an old workbook and it didn't look too nice.
So I would just like to say a few things about today at lunch. Firstly read the title again and come back to the start of this sentence. (Once you have gotten out of that loop) Secondly don't tell me what it was actually as I think it would be wise of me not to know this. It might help me in the future. And thirdly it was baiscally just all the gay and girl jokes all crashing down on me at one point. Plus telling everyone but me, I mean honestly sort of annoying.
Ok so now that that is over I would like to move on to the humerous thing I heard in maths today. Mr Burke wrote out the work on the board and this is what happened:

Board: Ex 3.2 10-29 odd numbers only.
Random person 1: What is the work we are meant to be doing?
Random person 2: It's on the board.
Random person 1: Oh ok *reads* Oh man I don't want to do that. I'm just going to do half.
Yeah. He's either very lazy or very stupid.
Ok so that's the end of this blog (I mean post. I am not going to stop blogging and giving it over to someone who will remake it so that it is darker and grittier). I hope you all have a good rest of the week and I'll leave you with the quote from 'The Colour of Magic':

The Gods have a habit of going around to the houses of atheists and breaking all the windows.

And so bye.
